It’s even harder to remember that about yourself. Don’t worry~nobody will snuff out my light! Okay, the dust might pretty soon, but it’s a metaphor, and my internal light is shining brightly!

I have to say, our cloudy rainy weather and short days have me longing for the bright flowers of summer. I love my little geranium that is now starting its third winter in the house. It loves all the sunshine it gets from the kitchen windows.

I think I might have to give it some TLC (aka fresh dirt and fertilizer) in order for it to make it through this winter.

For some reason, I’ve had a hard time getting into the holiday season. It might be partly due to the dreary weather, but it’s been a really rough year. I think I need to get out my CD of Merry Christmas by Johnny Mathis. This was always played when I was growing up, and it still means the beginning of the holiday season for me.

I think I need to turn off the bad news, put in the CD and bake some cookies. Maybe that will help me get into the sprit of the season. Hope everyone has a wonderful, blessed weekend.

I will have to remember to bring my geraniums inside next fall before the frost gets them.
My favorite Christmas album as a child was Gene Autry’s Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer! 🙂
Get in there and bake some cookies, that will surely put you in the holiday spirit!

How nice your geranium will live in the house! It doesnt take me long to start missing the long sunny summer days as well. I might not miss the 110 degrees but I surely miss the longer hours of daylight! and rather quickly!

The cookies are on the counter and Johnny Mathis is singing to me. It really is wonderful to spend time baking. I might try decorating the goats again this afternoon since we have nice warm sunny weather. 🙂 Although it will be difficult, I do hope you have a blessed season.

I think you’ve got the recipe for mood changing! Music and baking will work where many other things won’t. Have you heard the Il Divo Christmas CD. I love it – makes me cry, in a good way! 🙂
This season conjures up such a jumble of feeling – I hope your inner light shines as bright as ever – I’m pretty sure that it is visible to anyone who knows you.

The Goatmother loves the Dean Martin Christmas album and Andy Williams. She actually played Christmas music for us when she cleaned the barn.:) We’ve had a hard time getting in the spirit this year too (even with our beloved barn decoration). The weather and the times. I blame it all on that. But ’tis good to have friends! Do you plug your car in to keep it from freezing up? The Goatmother remembers being in Ames and the car being frozen and wouldn’t start! Those Iowa winters are cooooooold!

Luckily my car has a garage and it’s not been a problem for me. I do need to get a new battery for the Ranger because it was dead last winter and now it doesn’t want to hold a charge with our colder weather. Marigold it’s very lucky you got to listen to Christmas music while the Goatmother was cleaning the barn. My goats had to listen to my son’s LOUD music while he was scooping this fall.
